Has anyone put together a spreasheet or anything smilar for creating ssd's for Grand Fleets?

Well ... I've put together something using TeX (Donald Knuth's typesetting program). If you are familiar with TeX, I'd be happy to send you what I have. But if you're not, it wouldn't be worth learning it just for this.

Tex is something I looked at like 5 years ago or more when I ran Linux - not for the casual user! (Being one myself)

I've knocked up a simple spreadsheet. It doesn't generate SSD's, but it gives you all the data you need to fill one out. If anyone wants it, give me a shout and I'll post it.

Cheers

I don't think that anyone would object if you posted it here.

I, for one, would be VERY grateful.
I'm constructing an alternate history Confederate States Navy for some games with a friend. As I have over 40 ships ranging from the pre-dreadnoughts of the Spanish-Confederate War to the 1920's, it would make it MUCH easier for me to create my Ship Data Cards (as an SFB player, I can't call these 'SSD's' with a clear conscience ).

OK guys, well here it is. Some things to note:
1: Yellow squares are input, red is output.
2: The gun calculator and torpedo calculator is only needed if you don't know the game specs of the weapon, but you do know the RL specs.
2: The various battery calculators are only there to work out the odds of a mount being hit, and the point value of the ship. You need to know the arcs of the mounts, but you only input the number of arcs/mount(i.e. a mount with arcs of ABCD is 4 arcs. A mount withe the arcs of CDEF and the same no./type of gun goes on the same line). If two gun mounts have the same number of arcs, the same number of guns, and the same gun type, they will take up one row on the battery calculator.

Any other questions, ask and all will be made clear

Cheers
